Verified step by step guidance

Understand the question: The problem is asking for the term used to describe a protein molecule that has a smaller carbohydrate covalently bonded to it.

Review the definitions of the options provided: Nucleoprotein, Glycoprotein, Proteoglycan, and Lipoprotein.

Define 'Glycoprotein': A glycoprotein is a protein molecule that has one or more carbohydrate chains covalently attached to it. These carbohydrates are typically smaller in size compared to those found in proteoglycans.

Define 'Proteoglycan': Proteoglycans are proteins that are heavily glycosylated, with large carbohydrate chains (glycosaminoglycans) attached. This distinguishes them from glycoproteins, which have smaller carbohydrate chains.

Compare the options: Based on the definitions, the term 'Glycoprotein' is the correct answer because it specifically refers to a protein with smaller carbohydrate chains covalently bonded to it.
